• 1 cup oat flour

• ½ cup unsweetened pumpkin puree

• 1 egg

• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

• 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed for dough consistency)

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Mix ingredients. In a bowl, combine oat flour, pumpkin puree, egg, and peanut butter. Stir until a dough begins to form.

4. Roll the dough. Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough to about ½ cm thickness.

5. Cut shapes. Use bone-shaped cookie cutters to create fun treats.

6. Bake. Place treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18–20 minutes until firm and lightly golden.

7. Cool completely before serving to your dog.
